Hi there, These are really competitive programs. Your profile is definitely strong, but I think you would fall into the category of "Indian Male IT engineer" (even though you're on the BPM consulting side), so I worry that you might be overreaching with Sloan/Kellogg/Wharton. I'd still sug...

Hello, Sounds like you've been through a lot! Congrats on turning things around. I think that your odds at top programs are going to be a little slim, even though you've really changed your life for the better. The reason is less to do with age, but experience. You've definitely demonstrated that yo...

Hi Krishna, I'm sorry but that's not the kind of question we can answer on this forum. You'll have to do that research on your own.

Hi Anup, That is a very tough one! Most MBA programs don't specialize in public policy, though many offer dual degree programs with public policy graduate schools, which might be a good option. Similarly, many MBAs don't offer specializations in hospitality/tourism management as there are separate g...

Hello, Great question and tough decision, but I would go with a former boss from your internship. Professor recommendations are great, but generally speaking, professors can't offer a great depth/insight into how you lead. Your managers from your internship will offer a perspective on you perform pr...

Hi Pat, I think you're right to target EMBA programs locally. Makes sense given your current constraints and your experience level. I don't know off hand any other programs that offer classes every other week - but it looks like you've found some that might be great options. I'd definitely emphasize...

Sorry my mistake - I replied to your query on this same forum. As for your additional questions, if you can show that you've taken steps towards your career goals, that is always an advantage. If you feel you can make that switch, then go for it! Who knows, maybe you'll find you don't need an MBA in...

Hello, Thanks for sharing your profile. It sounds like you have excellent professional experience. However, your low GMAT and low GPA are going to present challenges and may limit the possibilities of schools for you. I would say that with your current profile, UCLA/NYU will be fairly unrealistic. U...

Hello, I think your profile is very well rounded - it's great that you are on the project management side and have manufacturing/operations experience - this will definitely help you stand out. Your grades/GMAT are going to be average compared against other Indian engineer applicants, but no need to...

Hi Vivek, I don't think there are any really black and white rules when it comes to MBA admissions. It's true that INSEAD really values international work experience (even more than other programs), but I wouldn't let this discourage you from applying!

Hi Mathewtvm, This is a tough question. Often times people pursue 2nd MBAs to get global business exposure, but it sounds like you've gotten incredible exposure from your current role. Supply chain management is a hot field and would be an asset to a business school applicant, so you would have a sh...

Hello, You have a pretty good profile overall: Strong professional experience, good GMAT/post undergrad grades, and decent participation in ECs/community (though it's unclear to me which, if any, you've been consistently involved with post-college). The undergrad GPA will definitely be an issue at t...

Hi, Thanks for posting your question- it's a good one! I can't say that I know which one is a 'better' career path - I think the answer very much depends on you and what you are looking for in your life. I know that it is quite common from people to go from IB to HF, versus growing up in HF - but I ...
